Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employers use salary surveys in three ways. First, they use survey data to price benchmark jobs. Second, employers typically price 20% or more of their positions directly in the marketplace (rather than relative to the firm's benchmark jobs), based on a survey of what comparable firms are paying for comparable jobs. Third, surveys also collect data on benefits like insurance, sick leave, and vacations for decisions regarding employee benefits. Wage curves are based on job evaluations not salary surveys.
